What's the best way to drop days from a current reservation?

[Lora]

I have just a few weeks left to decide on my banking deadline and I have a reservation in Sept. I think I'll need to trim down to fewer days. I'm trying to remember how I've done that in the past. Do I have to cancel the whole thing and rebook a shorter one (hoping the availability is still there), or is there a way to just drop some days? I'm thinking I might have had to go through member services to do something like this in the past. I'm hoping that it's simpler than that and I can do it online.

You need to call MS if you are dropping at either end of the trip, they will just removed the days and keep the same reservation.

On-line you would have to cancel and rebook.

If you contact MS, they can modify the check-in and/or check-out date to shorten or extend (subject to availability) the length of the reservation.

Thanks! I was pretty sure it was something like that. Pardon my laziness this morning. I knew I could count on the experts here.

Now...the hard part is getting my soon to be hs senior to decide whether she wants this last WDW trip while she's "home".

Just send a message to MS via the contact form on the member website instructing them what to do. They will process your instructions in a couple of days and email back when done.

FYI, if you drop the day (s) and are within the 30 day window, those points will end up in holding. So don't wait too long to make any changes.
